Description

Promotes Healthy Liver Function*USDA OrganicCaffeine Free Herbal TeaWhat will Organic Roasted Dandelion Root do for me? Dandelion root tea has shown "choleretic" effects, which means that it can stimulate the liver to increase bile flow.* Once bile is released by the liver, its two main functions are to carry away waste and to break down fats during digestion. How do I know it works? Dandelion's beneficial effects on liver and biliary tract function have been proven in pharmacological studies.* When should I use it? Drink one cup prepared with 1 to 2 tea bags, three times daily for up to 4-6 weeks. How does it taste? A pleasant roasted taste, sweet and slightly bitter.

Warnings

Consult your healthcare provider prior to use if you have severe acute, inflammation of the gallbladder, painful obstruction of the bowel, or obstructed bile ducts. Dandelion teas should be used for periods of up to 4-6 weeks, followed by a break before resuming. If pregnant or breast-feeding, ask a health care professional before use.

This tea is the closest thing to coffee taste you will find in a pure dandelion tea. The roasting is what makes it different than unroasted. If you know all the health benefits of dandelion, you will be happy to drink this, instead of coffee. I have added almond milk and vanilla flavored stevia drops, to give me the experience of drinking a flavored coffee, but just for my health, I will drink it plain.

I'm drinking my first cup of this tea right now, after seeing it in the grocery store and buying it on a whim. I heard it was supposed to be a similar taste to coffee (I'd actually read about how to collect and roast your own dandelion root a few weeks ago) and, as I drink a ton of coffee, I wanted to try it.

The smell takes some getting used to, but the taste of the tea itself was indeed a bit reminiscint of coffee, but with a more herbal flavor (unsurprisingly.) It wasn't bitter at all in my opinion, but the flavor also wasn't too strong; I may have needed to give it more time to brew. Adding a little pure sugar changed the flavor in a surprising way, giving it an almost honey-like taste imo. It's very soothing and unique, and in taste alone I love this tea.

I can't say anything about the health benefits as this is my first cup, but I'm tentatively hopeful!

IF, you have Edema of the feet and lower legs, put two Dandelion tea bags, in a 12-14oz. cup, heat the water in the microwave, place the two tea bags in the cup for about 10 minutes, squeeze the bags to get all the "good" out of them, sweeten to taste, add a little lemon juice, dring two cups every day, in two weeks you will see the difference.Takes a couple of days to get use to the taste, then you will look forward to it!

I bought this tea to cleanse my digestive system and to cleanse my liver. I mix equal parts dandelion root with peppermint tea as peppermint tea stimulates bile secretion as does the dandelion root. The dandelion root tastes a little bitter on its own, but tastes great with the peppermint. Sometimes I add lemon juice too.

Prior to recent travel to California I wanted to stop drinking coffee. Generally, I drank 1 large (20oz.) cup (and sometimes a smaller cup or even more later in the day) each day. However, I drank much Dutch Bros. coffee and other coffee in CA. The day after my return to NY (March 2, 2013) I had pain that seemed like indigestion. Therefore, I purchased this tea to help me get off of coffee and to aid my digestion. First, I tried taking another (usually very helpful and well-known name brand) product several times as prescribed but, this time, it did not work! The Dandelion Root tea worked wonders, although not instantly (not the very first cup), and the pain dissolved completely!! Drinking the tea along with and/or after meals has proven to be very helpful to my digestive system. Also, I have been able to drink this tea with and without a sweetener. I do not experience any funny/unusual smells or tastes from this tea as some others have. At the same time, I recognize that everyone has a different sense of smell and taste. I signed on to GNC to purchase more boxes of this tea and to try some of the other GNC teas. Prior to drinking the Dandelion Root tea, I generally purchased Aloe Vera or Vitamin E oil products from this company. Now, along with the DR tea, I am purchasing more GNC teas and other products, especially as (a person in the 50-year old age range) I seek to have better health. And, I have already suggested the DR tea and given some bags of it to a family member who has suffered with digestion problems after treatment for cancer of the esophagus. To everyone: I recommend trying the tea with or after meals or anytime of the day. So far, I have been drinking this tea everyday, sometimes sipping on a cup of it throughout the day. As another person mentioned in their post, maybe this is TMI but, I have also had little to no gas than what I was experiencing at the beginning of and after my travels between NY and CA. I could be wrong, even so, I also attribute this benefit to the DR tea.

After reading all the posted comments, I was truly expecting an awful tasting tea. The aroma from the bag seemed to confirm others' thoughts. Amazingly, it was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I am a tea drinker and I never add sweetener to my tea. I do agree that it has a unique taste among teas that I have sampled, but for the health benefits, it is a winner.

This is a tonic tea used to aid digestion. It helps with liver function, urine flow, stomach/digestion. This tea, along with Milk Thistle and 2 Tb/day Lemon Juice (taken at different times, of course) were instrumental in lowering my liver enzymes from the 400's back to normal, in 5 weeks. Sweeten with Stevia if you cannot stand the strong flavor. Don't drink too close to bedtime unless you want to pee all night!

This tea, was great. off course i am a tea drinker, and thought the tea had a very suttle nutty taste, i will highly recommend it to those who drink often, at first it was a bit bitter but after a few cups i enjoyed it...

This tea is for persons who LIKE tea, not for the occasional drinker. It will taste odd to you if you hate tea to begin with - it is an acquired taste, but delivers on what it says it will do. As far as the taste, my roommate descibed it as diluted peanut butter...sounds about right! Give it a go!
